President Trumps pullout from the Paris Climate Agreement is really an irrational middle finger to the progressive movement. The elites of the conservative PR movement have master fully equated masculinity with intolerance, abusive use of fossil fuels, military imperialism, and reduction of civil rights with masculinity. Founders of the Mens Movement would be turning in their graves observing how corruption of messages by conservatives is being used to the benefit of some immoral capitalists.

Glorifying violence, driving fuel inefficient vehicles, profit at any price, decimating the First and Fourteenth Amendments have become the cornerstone of the conservative Trumpian agenda. This draconian agenda is catapulted with arrogant hubris, insensitivity, and a total lack of regard for anything other than making money, no matter what the destructive consequences. The above negative attributes have all the characteristics of past repressive fascist regimes.

America has now become The land of the Free if you are wealthy, white, and male. These conservatives would like to set womens rights back to the early 1900s. After all, women vote for progressive candidates in far greater numbers, so why not dilute their right to vote also in addition to people of color?

These hypocritical conservatives are always touting the importance of the Constitution, but thats only when it serves their greedy white patriarchal needs. Conservatives want to destroy anything that puts women, working class people, LGBTQ, the poor, people of color, and the environment on a level opportunity and playing field with their selfish apathetic greedy friends.

Conservatives are using religion, ethnicity, so called job formation, environmental anti-truthers, homophobia, fear of the loss of white male power, and demonizing of Sissy Tree Huggers as way to coalesce the ignorant white male base of voters to their greedy anything for profit agenda.

Cutting through the folly of tribalism and unconditional conservative loyalty is no easy task. After all many human beings are reactive emotional irrational creatures. I have faith in our upcoming better educated more tolerant millennials. The good news is that each year there are fewer conservative white males.
